In 1909 a team of raggy-trousered miners from West Auckland in County Durham - most of whom had never left their home town - are mistakenly invited to represent England in the first-ever world football competition in Turin.Selling their possessions to pay for the trip they find themselves away from their home and families and out of their depth, culturally, financially and sportingly. Despite this the underdogs roll up their sleeves and take on the world, winning the trophy. They went to Italy as miners and came back heroes. All profits from this production will go to the Darlington FC Youth Team, in acknowledgement of their commitment and dedication to the club during the dramatic 2011-12 season ....and as a means of ensuring the continued success of the Youth Team in the future.
